It hardly seems worthwhile to point out the shortsightedness of those practitioners who would have us believe that the form of the poem is merely its shape (Poem Quotes)
A poem may be an instance of morality, of social conditions, of psychological history; it may instance all its qualities, but never one of them alone, nor any two or three; never less than all (Poem Quotes)

If you know what you are going to write when you’re writing a poem, it’s going to be average (Poem Quotes)
